PPC Ian

When I first started PPC Ian, I wrote a post about moonlighting accelerating your SEM career. Then, in my last post, I discussed how PPC jobs are changing. How are they changing? One of the biggest changes is pay per click campaign managers are now in a position where it’s almost mandatory to master skills in all online marketing channels (including SEO, social media, display, email, and others). So, how do you master these essential skills? In my opinion, there’s really only one way: Jump head first into the exciting world of affiliate marketing, immediately! Today’s post is all about getting started in affiliate marketing with EWA Private Network and Blam Ads, two of the premier networks around.

EWA Is Ideal For New Affiliates With Corporate Experience

Back in 2007, I first started building SEO websites with the goal of learning new marketing skills (beyond PPC) and earning passive income. I hard coded my sites in static HTML, wrote many articles by hand, and spent hours marketing my sites. As a result of years of hard work, I’m enjoying impressive passive income from Google AdSense, eBay Partner Network, Commission Junction, and other huge affiliate programs, but it was a long road. Why? I really had to learn all types of new skills on my own. AdSense, EPN, and CJ are big affiliate networks. They’re not really going to offer you hands-on personal tips and pointers.

Now, wouldn’t it be nice if I had a mentor holding my hand all the way? Wouldn’t it be nice if I had someone connecting me with the best affiliate offers, providing the best affiliate payouts, and basically partnering with me in the quest to dominate online marketing? Well, this is actually EWA Private Network’s specialty!

Put simply, we’re in a much different situation than 2007. If you’re getting started in affiliate marketing in 2011, you need to join forces with an affiliate network that can jump-start your affiliate marketing operations. It does not matter how much corporate experience you have. The affiliate world, especially when you’re starting from scratch, is very different. After all, that’s why you want to get started in affiliate marketing, it’s an invaluable learning experience that will end up accelerating your corporate career big time. Now, don’t get me wrong. Your corporate experience will help you dominate, and makes you the ideal candidate for a network like EWA Private Network. At the same time, there are so many new skills you will need to learn with the help of a great network like EWA.

EWA Is A Private Affiliate Network

So, what’s all this talk about EWA being a private network? Easy! Most affiliate networks out there are large, public networks. As mentioned earlier, Google AdSense, eBay Partner Network, and Commission Junction have thousands upon thousands of affiliates in their networks. Most people that come along get accepted. However, EWA is a true private affiliate network. As you can see from the image on the right, EWA Private Network is currently accepting three new affiliates as of February, 20. I remember seeing this number as high as six earlier this month. When the number goes to zero, it’s hard to say when EWA will open its doors to new affiliates. So, if you’re thinking of signing up, I recommend applying now!

Now, why is EWA a private affiliate network? It all comes down to service. EWA wants to guarantee the best payouts, the best offers, the best inventory (minimal caps), and overall the best service possible. This all becomes possible with a private, exclusive network. When you’re part of the EWA Private Network, you’ve basically been accepted into an exclusive club.

EWA’s Sister Network, Blam Ads

Now, I wanted to close out with another really amazing opportunity, especially if you have members only content available. Ryan Eagle, Founder and Managing Partner of Eagle Web Assets Inc., just started a brand new company called Blam Ads. (As a side note, I absolutely love their logo. It’s so catchy!) I’m especially excited about the Blam Ads Content Locking Gateway. What does this mean? Basically, the user is able to offer out simple, unobtrusive offers to then gain access to your site’s members only content.

So, there you have it! EWA Affiliate Network and Blam Ads offer two easy ways to jump head first into the affiliate marketing world, taking your online marketing career to the next level. If you’re thinking of making the move, I recommend moving now becuase there are only three spots left with EWA.
